Cullinan in preliminary World Cup squad JOHANNESBURG, Nov 30 (AFP) - Daryll Cullinan, the batsman who walked out on the South African Test team last season, was Saturday included in a 30-man preliminary squad for the 2003 World Cup to be played in South Africa. But the chances of Cullinan making the final 15-man squad for the tournament, which starts in Cape Town on February 9, look slim after a powerful performance by South Africa in the second one-day international against Sri Lanka at Centurion Friday. Boeta Dippenaar, ten years Cullinan's junior, made 89 in the number four position once occupied by by the veteran batsman. Another veteran, Gary Kirsten, was also named in the preliminary squad but he too saw his chances recede as rival opener Graeme Smith hit 99 to set up a comprehensive 177-run for South Africa. The squad includes ten black or coloured players. The UCB, under pressure from the government over their decision to abandon racial quotas at national and senior provincial level, has set a target of having five "players of colour" in the World Cup squad. South Africa: Shaun Pollock (captain), Nicky Boje, Loots Bosman, Mark Boucher, Daryll Cullinan, Alan Dawson, Boeta Dippenaar, Allan Donald, Steve Elworthy, Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Hall, Mornantau Hayward, Jacques Kallis, Gary Kirsten, Lance Klusener, Charl Langeveldt, Neil McKenzie, Makhaya Ntini, Justin Ontong, Robin Peterson, Ashwell Prince, Jonty Rhodes, Jacques Rudolph, Graeme Smith, Errol Stewart, Roger Telemachus, David Terbrugge, Thami Tsolekile, Martin van Jaarsveld, Monde Zondeki. |
